I think that there is never going to be a native Linux port. Ever. The reason being that the game engine is 100% true Windows DirectX code, meaning that for a native Linux version it would have to be ported to OpenGL first. This will likely never happen since the source code of the game engine, the Dark Engine, is still closed source, and is very likely to remain closed. IF it were released as open source, anything would be possible. Like Arx Fatalis: the code was released and free developers ported it from DirectX to OpenGL. Arx Libertatis is now a 100% true Linux engine – still requiring the original game files, so you need to purchase the game, but that's the intention behind it. And, quite francly, this is IMHO the ONLY way to have true Linux games: by releasing the source code of the engine. Other examples are Doom and Descent (dxx-rebirth).
